Dina (ダイナ, Daina?) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland manga series and a recurring character from the Records of Comrades light novel. She was an escapee from Glory Bell, and a childhood friend of Yugo and Lucas. She was killed by Leuvis when she and her friends ventured into Goldy Pond.
History[]
Yugo is horrified by Dina's death.
Dina was born and raised as an orphan at Glory Bell orphanage, alongside Lucas, Yugo, and countless other children. She was also Yugo’s childhood crush. Around thirteen years ago, in 2033, Yugo brought forward the idea of escaping (presumably after finding out the true intentions of the farms). From there, Dina escaped with Yugo and Lucas and sixteen other children. Dina and her friends then took refuge at Shelter B06-32 before deciding to travel to the human reserve in hopes of finding William Minerva. On the way there, Dina and her friends were captured by the Poachers who brought them to Goldy Pond. Once there, Leuvis mercilessly slaughtered her and all of her friends with the exception of Yugo, who later returned to the Shelter alone, and Lucas, who begun living in the windmill with another boy, after barely managing to escape alive.
Appearance[]
Dina sports a dark headband to go along with her straight blonde hair and long bangs. During her time at Glory Bell, she is seen wearing the uniform that all of the Premium Farm children wear- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white skirt along with brown boots. After escaping from the orphanage, she is seen wearing a a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and black skirt along with brown shoes. Her Glory Bell identification number is tattooed across the left side of her abdomen.
Personality[]
Not much is known about Dina, but it is known that she enjoyed having tea parties and had an empathetic personality.[1] During their youth, Dina had always served as a mediator between Yugo and Lucas. Both Yugo and Lucas were stubborn and were not the type to easily change their minds when they thought they were right and, as such, would frequently have disagreements. Only Dina's intervention made them oddly calm, even when they got to a point seemingly hopeless. Yugo believed that if it was not for Dina's intervention, he and Lucas could never have become so close to each other. She was not the type to stand out or become the center of attention, but her very presence had a soothing effect on those around her. Yugo loved this comforting side about her.[1] Upon meeting Yugo again in the afterlife, she greets him with kind words and open arms.

Promised Forest Arc[]
When Emma and the fourteen other Grace Field Escapees enter the Shelter, Yvette is shocked when she peers into Yugo's bedroom and sees the names of Yugo's deceased friends written on the wall along with the word "Poachers" in big black letters. Anna asks Yvette what's wrong before seeing the room for herself. Yvette and Anna remain silent as they begin to wonder what it all means.
Search for Minerva Arc[]
On the day before Yugo, Emma, and Ray depart for Goldy Pond, Yugo returns his bedroom and silently reflects on what happened to his friends at the hands of the Poachers. Emma approaches Yugo and asks him what "Poachers" are, but Yugo simply responds by angrily telling Emma to get out of his sight. Emma ignores him and continues asking questions about his friends and what happened at Goldy Pond, but Yugo refuses to tell her anything saying "It's all a secret." Over the next few days as Yugo is accompanying Emma and Ray to Goldy Pond, he begins to experience flashbacks of his friends during their time growing up at Glory Bell, to living with them in the Shelter, to their eventual death in Goldy Pond. As they get closer to their destination, the flashbacks get worse and after talking with Emma, he begins to have a change of heart and decides to tell them the truth.
Dina reunites with Yugo and Lucas in the afterlife.
Cuvitidala Arc[]
After Yugo and Lucas died in the explosion, they woke up in the afterlife, surrounded by all their friends they had once lost.

Dina continued to hug Yugo as the latter cried in her arms.
